Chapter 167: Setting the Menu

"Is there anything else going on with Mr. Russell?" said Vivien, holding the little white kitten and twisting halfway around.

"Uh...... I... I do have something I would like you to help with. If...... If you're not busy right now. Russell cooperated with his body movements, and expressed what he wanted to say.

"I'm not busy right now. Vivien said.

"That's great, it's going to drive me crazy. Russell exaggerated with a sigh of relief.

If Xiaobai and Vivian hadn't come, maybe he would have started smashing the table by now.

"Doesn't the army have rules that prohibit civilians from participating in military affairs at will? I'm afraid it's already a violation for me to appear here with you, I ...... I should go. The girl said and prepared to go out.

"No, no, Miss Vivien, that's just for ordinary people, I'm a soldier of the kingdom...... I'm an officer in the kingdom, and I have a little privilege, and I really need your help. Russell walked up to Vivien from behind his desk, and he almost slipped his mouth just now, telling Vivian who he really was, but fortunately he reacted in time.

Since Russell wore a regular dress and did not wear solid gold epaulettes, Vivien could not tell his rank from what he was wearing.

"That'...... Oh well, I hope I won't give you trouble. Vivien retracted the foot that had already stepped over the threshold.

"Great, rest assured, there will be no trouble. Russell ushered Vivien back to his desk and moved a chair for her, "Please be seated." ”

Russell has a good impression of this girl with a white cat in her arms, perhaps because Vivian and Anne are a little bit alike, or maybe for some other reason. In short, one of the problems he is currently experiencing will most likely be solved.

"This problem has been bothering me for a long time, and I have tried countless ways to solve it, but it still appears in front of me again and again. Russell placed the menu full of the names of the dishes on the table in front of Vivien, "I'll have to choose five of these dishes for today's menu, but I'm really not good at choosing dishes. It requires me to take care of the tastes of the majority, or the soldiers will tear apart like a broken doll. ”

"So you thought of me?" Vivien looked at Russell with a smile.

Russell nodded, it was hard to imagine how he, a super impatient guy, could speak such gentle, kind, calm language. "Yes, that's right, women are inherently stronger than men in terms of color and taste," he said. I guess you also cook a lot at home, so I thought of this method as soon as I saw you, and I think this kind of work should be an easy thing for you. ”

Vivien looked at the menu, thought for a moment, and smiled knowingly. She put the cat in her arms on the table and said, "Xiaobai, you can play by yourself for a while." ”

The white cat doesn't like a cold table, but it also knows that the owner has something going on right now. The little spiritual creature jumped into Russell's arms with a slight leap, and curled up into a ball.

According to Xiaobai's feeling, this "big cat" with a layer of soft "fur" on its body just now rubbed it very comfortably.

"Hehehe, it likes you. Vivian looked at Russell, who was pretended to be full of arms by Xiaobai before she reacted, and she looked caught off guard there, smiling so much that her eyes were full of crescents.

"This little guy is on me. God knows how it got to me from you, and it took me off when it showed up in my office. Russell reached out and began to rub Xiaobai's body again, Xiaobai snorted comfortably, then closed his eyes and began to sleep.

"You have a good set of kittens," Vivian keenly noticed that the places where Russell rubbed were the places where cats liked to be rubbed the most, "No wonder Xiaobai likes you so much." ”

Russell shrugged and said, "I used to have a cat when I was in military school, so I know a lot about the habits of cats." ”

"Looking at Xiaobai's appearance, I'm afraid it will have to run to you often in the future, and I will have to come to you every time I look for it in the future." Vivien reached out and flicked her fingers on Xiaobai's head, and then entered the working state.

Choosing the best five dishes from nearly a hundred dishes was indeed easier for Vivien than Russell, but it was still a time-consuming task. If you don't work, I'm afraid it's too late.

Russell closed his mouth in amusement, and now Vivien was engrossed in combing and choosing, and couldn't disturb her.

Halfway through the hour, Vivien suddenly reached out and groped around the table, but her eyes were still fixed on the menu. When Russell saw this, he immediately knew what Vivien wanted.

A quill was taken out of the plug, dipped in ink, and placed in Vivien's fumbling hand.

Vivien glanced up at Russell, then drooped again, the quill rustling on the paper, and a rounded circle circled the name of a dish.

Black pepper beef tenderloin.

Russell nodded inwardly. For no other reason, this dish is one of his favorite dishes.

"I didn't expect Vivien to have the same taste as me. Russell thought to himself.

As soon as he thought about it, the movement of his hands stopped. Xiaobai enjoyed the free comfortable massage so much, but for some reason, the massage suddenly stopped, and it called out twice in dissatisfaction, pulling Russell back from his thoughts to reality.

"Uh......" Russell looked down and found that the kitten in his arms was staring at him with two dripping black eyes, he smiled apologetically at Xiaobai and began to rub it again.

"Meow~~" Feeling that this "big cat" with soft "fur" began to rub it again, Xiaobai snorted, lowered his head again, closed his eyes and began to nap.

Russell held the cat and stood at his desk for two hours until Vivien drew a fifth circle on the menu.

Vivien put down her pen in satisfaction and stretched out her hand to stretch her graceful figure. Suddenly, she noticed Russell staring straight at her, and then she remembered that he had been standing here for so long.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Russell, to keep you waiting. Vivien touched her face shyly.

"It's okay, I'm used to it, and we can have a meeting that lasts a lot longer than that. Russell smiled and took the menu, looking at the dishes circled on it.

Black pepper beef tenderloin, crispy diced chicken, fried fish, beef stewed potatoes, and an onion ring.

Except for the onion rings, everything else is meat dishes, and even the most restless soldier will be firmly sucked.

When it comes to cooking, women really have a talent bonus.

"Thank you, Miss Vivien, for helping me out of a big problem," Russell said sincerely, "if only you could do this to me in the future." ”

"If you don't mind, I'm here to help you at this time of the day. I believe Xiaobai will also be very willing to see you. Vivien said.

"That's great, I'll help you get a pass right away, and then you'll be free to come and go here. ”
